  "keyQuestions": [
    "What affects crypto swap confirmation time?",
    "Why is my crypto swap still pending after my wallet says sent?",
    "Does sent mean a crypto swap is complete?",
    "How does a fixed-rate crypto swap change confirmation pressure?",
    "Can a no-registration crypto swap still be delayed?",
    "Should I send a second transaction if a swap is pending?",
    "What should I share with support for a delayed crypto swap?"
  ],
  "quickSteps": [
    "Check the source transaction first, because a route cannot finish until the source-chain facts are clear.",
    "Compare the asset, network, amount, and route details before treating the delay as a service problem.",
    "Separate confirmation waiting from route processing so you know which stage actually needs attention.",
    "Prepare a narrow support proof packet using public transaction facts instead of broad screenshots or private wallet data.",
    "Wait, escalate, or stop based on the verified status, and never send a second transaction just to calm uncertainty."
  ],
  "issueRouting": {
    "start": "A crypto swap is pending and the user needs to understand whether the route is waiting normally or needs support.",

      {
        "if": "The source transaction is not confirmed enough",
        "then": [
          "Check the transaction ID on the correct source chain.",
          "Wait for confirmations to build before assuming the route failed.",
          "Avoid second sends or random accelerator links while the chain status is unclear."
        ]
      },
      {
        "if": "The deposit is confirmed but the route has not moved",
        "then": [
          "Compare the asset, network, amount, and route identifier.",
          "Check whether the status shows deposit detected, processing, expired, or support required.",
          "Prepare a narrow proof packet with public transaction facts for support."
        ]
      },
      {
        "if": "The amount, network, memo, tag, or destination details do not match",
        "then": [
          "Stop adding new transactions to the route.",
          "Document the mismatch using the transaction ID and route details.",
          "Contact support with only the facts needed to diagnose the issue."
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "riskNotes": [
    "Wallet status labels such as sent do not always mean the swap route has enough confirmations to continue.",
    "A low source-chain fee can make a normal route look stuck even when the deposit details are correct.",
    "Sending on the wrong network is not a confirmation-time problem and may require support review.",
    "A second transaction can create duplicate deposits, wrong amounts, and avoidable support confusion.",
    "Support proof should use public transaction facts, not seed phrases, private keys, wallet backups, or full-screen recordings."
